Hudson enjoyed his very first Thanksgiving.  We went to see Millie and Poppa John in the beautiful Hill Country.  Hudson ate turkey, dressing and sweet potatoes.  He also learned a new trick before we got to their house....CRAWLING!!  yea!!  He is finally crawling and getting into also sorts of trouble.  Life is about to get crazy around here.  Enjoy his pics...

 Check out my new  Christmas sweater!

Mom's new view...my behind as a crawl away!

10 months!!

Big Red is now the big 10 months.  Woo hoo!!  And crazier by the day :)  Lazy boy still isn't crawling  yet, but he is really trying.  Hopefully he will get the hang of it any day now.  He has hated being on his tummy from the day we brought him home from the hospital, so crawling involves tummy time, so he is having to get over his tummy phobia to learn to crawl.  He has become quite the little eater though.  He will literally eat anything you put in front of him and usually by the fistful.  We really haven't found anything yet that he refuses to eat.  His new favorite is rotisserie chicken.  If we put a couple of different things on his plate, he will pick out all of the chicken first.  Let's just hope he keeps it up and doesn't decide to start being a picky eater.  Can't wait to see what he will do with all the food at Thanksgiving!  He also loves to shake his head back and forth to say, "No, No".  And he claps along to the song, "If you're happy and you know it".  Here are his pics....

 Happy Boy!

Hmm...what is this on my shirt??

Wow, a sticker!

Sweet, I got it off!

 Big boy standing up!

Mooo....I mean Boo!

Happy Halloween from our little cow...boy!  He looked adorable in his little costume and actually kept it on for quite a while.  He didn't get to go trick-or-treating, but he did enjoy passing out candy and watching all of the kids in the costumes.  Such a sweet boy!  Enjoys his pics...the first few are from a pumpkin patch where we got Hudson a pumpkin to carve.

 Hmm...how do I get to the wheel to drive??

 It's a bird, it's a plane, no it's Super Hudson!!

 Moooooo

 "Eat More Chicken"

Cutest cow I know!!

9 months!

Happy 9 month birthday Hud!!  He has become quite the little monkey lately!  He loves to climb all over anyone playing with him.  And he has completely forgotten how to sit still!!  he loves to stand up, it is his new favorite activity.  Still not crawling yet, but trying so hard!  Last night he figured out how to scoot backwards.  He is still eating great and now loves to feed himself---Cheerios, carrots, green beans, peas, peaches, bananas.  We go to the doctor on Monday, so we will see how much he has grown.  Taking his monthly pictures was a little difficult today, we couldn't figure out why he wouldn't give us a big smile.  Afterward we discovered that he still had a carrot in his mouth from dinner (that was like 20 minutes before).  He will keep food in his mouth forever, just sucking on it, gross!!!  I think he knew if he laughed or smiled big his precious carrot would escape.  Silly kid.  Today our neighborhood had a fall carnival, so we took Hudson over.  We got to ride behind a tractor on a hay ride, which he LOVED!  The whole trip he just kicked his legs and squealed, it was so funny.  Enjoy his pics!

Last month

 Goofy smile

 Sophisticated look

 Look at all that hair!  He is almost in need of a haircut!

he was too obsessed with the handle to smile, silly kid!!

"Mom, look at this hay!!"

 

"What in the world is that thing???"

Hay ride, so fun!!

Tractor boys

He loves to play with his feet, he rubs them against each other as quick as he can, he was showing off his talent for the camera!

8 months!!

Our big boy is 8 months old!!  Can't believe it, seems like just yesterday I was posting his 7 month pictures.  He has definitely become much more curious this month, he wants to grab and touch EVERYTHING!!!  He is trying to figure out the whole crawling thing, but so far he hasn't gotten it yet.  Which might be a blessing for the rest of us because I have a feeling  he is going to be all over the place and getting in to everything!!!  He is still eating great and has started feeding himself little finger foods.  He also finally has his first tooth peeking through, yay!!  It must feel funny to him because he always has his hands in his mouth feeling it and rubbing his tongue across it.  Here are some pics for the month, including some from our recent trip to the Dallas Arboretum with some of friends.
